yay, it's a tori amos reference! anyone want to disembowel me on the spot? i'm waiting....*tapping toes impatiently* Tori rocks my socks, dude. chickens get a taste of your meat, mmm good! well i'ts 6:30 pm on x-mas eve, and guess who has yet to buy ONE single gift. i'll probably be out late tonite cos the family (sic) will be over tomorrow. here goes a stiff instant orange cappucino for me. not to turn this into the radiohead list, but i must defend those boys, out of principle. i've seen them twice in concert and they rock!! thom and jonny are really nice, too. and whining is good, it makes me cry. i think his voice is lovely. nothing wrong with rocking, as long as you do it well. all been done before, just comes down to how well you rip off what's come before, and they add their own mentality. to me their music epitomizes(bigwordalert) a certain simultaneously modern, and yet timeless, sense of ennui, desperation, impotence and the struggle to remain individual in the face of conformizing mechanization (If those are even words...) and expresses those feelings as well as anything. I've felt that frustrationevery day of my life and "letdown" still crushes me to the verge of collapse. it's yummy emotion, tugging at the heartstrings, and it's purty, like the Gate. nuff said. now let's shut up about radiohead...and continue to canonize the members of b&s. (SARCASM!!!) i dont' know if anyone ever mentioned momus on this list before, but i saw an old tape of mine that has the French and Saunders show on it, and it had those two guys who sang and played keyboards, and i realized that's exactly what momus sounds like, EXACTLY like that singing guy. that's why i dont' like him, he's goofy as hell. AND i saw a clip of the show "Man about the House" on a program about sitcoms, it said that AWFUL "three's Company" show was based on man about the house. the guy on that show was no where near as repulsve as john ritter, though. and their apartment was much uglier, so it looked tons more enjoyable. does anyone know why american sitcoms constantly rip off british ones? i have never heard of a british ripoff of an american idea. but it seems like every american sitcom came from an english tv idea. things that make you go HMMMMM>..... petermiller, may i use your wonderful phrase "a beacon for the mentally unhinged" as the slogan of the wee world? i'm not really sure if that was meant as a compliment, but as it was funny, i dont' really care. all these hugs going around, and someone's going to catch something nasty, like boy cooties or girl germs. you better all wear thick anoraks and fuzzy gloves when doing your holiday loving. and you'll all catch whiny holiday depression from me, i hear it's dangerously communicable. now for your holiday cheer, i present for your despisement the introduction of a new society of wonder, that the gods wish to spread throughout the next millenium as a symbol of hope and bonhomie for the disparaged and disgusted masses. may i present to you, the stuart murdoch Shiny Apple Posse. FAQ Q: What is the S.A.P.?? A: An illustrious society united by the bonds of goodwill represented by an eccentric popstar's curious and mysterious boon. Q: Aren't you afraid of being called "sappy saps"?? A: no. Sappiness is a badge of honor. Q: Is it sanctioned by Stuart M.? cos if it's not, i'm gonna tell and you'll get sued big-time. A: While not officially endorsed by Mr. Murdoch, it must be remembered that he chose to grant the apple of his own free will. We're legally home-free. Q: Is it anything like the "Apple Dumpling Gang" that delightful Don Knotts vehicle by Disney?? A: No. Q: Ok that all makes sense, but why S.A.P. in the first place? A: It was a damn good apple, my friend. Q: So how do i declare my eternal alliance to this holiest of cabals?? A: you must grant a curious and heartfelt gift of your own. once you have received the holy sticker, you are free to pass on the gift of shiny applehood to one and all that you meet. this is not a pyramid scheme, you will not die if you don't convert 100 people. You are free to spread love and cheer at your own disposal, or, indeed, dispose of the whole concept. everyone give out shiny apples this holiday season, and reach out to one another with felicity and serendipity. Much love..... Hmm i just dreamed last night i was supposed to be on a flight to Munich and then to Italy, but i got scared and started crying to my mom i didn't want to go, and they were going to make us march in some stupid parade in Austin Texas, and i was bitching about that too. then i was walking around this museum dressed in a suit hta tmade me look naked, and i was trying to cover myself up. i kept trying to smile at this cute blond girl on a walkway above. then i was walking in a crazy funhouse neighborhood in the smithsonian. at one point i was taking a class in breeding chickens from this redneck guy, and he was making me lift up the legs of girl dogs to tell which sex they were, but the dog was just like a girl person and she smiled at me, and i felt sorry for her being in a breeding program, but i had to check her gender anyway. it was very humiliating. there was a movie about cutting off the heads of chickens.
